ENGAGING THE WORLO
Mechatronic Systems Engineering Course Initiation
Faculty of Applied Sciences Curriculum Committee
Ahmad Rad and Robert D. Cameron
October 16, 2012
Introduction
The School of Mechatronic Systems Engineering will be officially established on April 1, 2013 taking
on responsibility for the existing Mechatronic Systems Engineering Major and Honours programs as
well as responsibility (jointly with Beedie School of Business) for the existing Mechatronic Systems
Engineering and Business Double Degree Program.
As the standard mnemonic for the School, the MSE label is proposed to be introduced for all
Mechatronic Systems Engineering courses. In general, current ENSC courses that are Surrey-based
courses used in the MSE curriculumare proposed to be relabelled as MSE courses. Other existing
ENSC courses that are used in both the MSE program and the Burnaby ENSC options are proposed to
be replicated. As necessary, the individual course descriptions are proposed to be modified to deal
with course-creditrestrictions, typicallythat a studenthaving taken an ENSC course for credit may not
take it for further credit under its MSE number.
For simplicity and clarity, a two-stage process is proposed for establishing the Fall 2013 curriculum in
Mechatronic Systems Engineering.
1. Course renumbering and cloning only,with minimal curriculum content changes, to be effective
May 2013 (this proposal).
2. The normal curriculum changes anticipated for the 2013-14 academicyear, to be expressed in
terms of the new MSE course labels and proposed for the academic calendar effective
September 2013.
The remainder of this document thus focuses on the proposal to renumber and replicate ENSC courses
to becomeMSE courses, as well as the consequent changesto calendartext, without any change in
underlying content. It is organized into the following sections.
I.
ENSC Courses to be Renumbered
II. ENSC Courses to be Replicated
III. Consequential Course Revisions for CMPT and ENSC Courses
IV. Consequential Changes to the Calendar Textfor the Mechatronic Systems Engineering Major
V.
Consequential Changes to the Calendar Textfor the Mechatronic Systems Engineering Honours
Program
VI. Consequential Changes to the CalendarTextfor the MechatronicSystems Engineering and
Business Double Degree Program
VII. Consequential Changes to the CalendarText for the Systems One Program
VIII. Consequential Changes to the CalendarText for the Software Systems Program

I. ENSC Courses to be Renumbered
The following table lists ENSC courses that are to be renumbered as MSE courses, togetherwith
necessary changes in prerequisites and course-equivalency constraints. Upon renumbering, the ENSC
course is removed from the calendar, leaving only the new version.
One important note: the Mechatronics Major program was originally designed with TechOne as an
integralfirst year courseincluding the B-Soccourse TECH 114-3. In the replacement of TechOne with
the Sytems One program, ENSC 106-3was designed to replace TECH 114-3 as a breadth course and
hasbeen approved with the B-Hum designation.
With the relabelling to MSE 102-3, the intentis that
thecourse stillbe considered a B-Hum course forMechatronics Systems Engineering majors,
notwithstanding the normal rule that breadth courses must be from outside the student's unit. The
University Curriculum Office has been consulted on this and is requested to confirm approval for
SCUS.
Current ENSC Course (to be removed)
ENSC 104-3 Engineering Graphics and Design

order to help students think and communicate
visually in the contextof engineering design. The
course focuses on concepts such as isometric,
multi-view sketches, sectionview, and auxiliary
views, tolerancing and dimensioning, as well as
fundamentals of schematics and printed circuit
boards design. Various computer aided design
software are used. Students with credit for ENSC
104-3 cannot take ENSC 204-1 for further credit.
ENSC 104-3 fulfills the requirements of ENSC
204-1, but ENSC 204-1 does not fulfill the
requirements of ENSC 104-3.
ENSC 106-3 Applied Science, Technology and
Society
Reviews the different modes of thought
characteristic of science, engineering and
computing. Examines the histories and chief
current research issues in these fields. Considers
the ethical and social responsibilities of
engineering and computingwork. Corequisite:
ENSC 105W or CMPT105W. Students who have
taken ENSC 100 cannot take this course for credit.
ENSC 106 is identical to CMPT 106 and students
cannot take both for credit. B-Hum/B-Sci

computer system must discern the state of the
world and react to it within stringent response-time
constraints. Upon completion of the course, the
student will have a basic understanding of how to
design, build and integrate hardware and software
for an embedded control application. Hands-on
experience will be gained by performing laboratory
experiments and doing an embedded computer
control project on a mechatronic system.

Co-operative Education Work
Experience
Every engineering science student completes a
three term co-operative education program of
practical experience in an appropriate industrial or
research setting leading to a project under the
technical direction of a practising engineer or
scientist. The goal is a complementary combination
of work in an industrial or research setting and
study in one of the engineering options. The
internship may
be within the University but in most
cases the work site is off campus.
After the first year, smdents typically alternate
between academic and work terms.
At least two of the three mandatory work terms
must be completed in industry (ENSC 195, 295,
395). Smdents may participate in additional work
terms but are encouraged to seek diversity in their
experience. The three mandatory work terms may
include one special co-op term (ENSC 196,296,
396). Special co-op may include, but is not
restricted to, self-direaed, entrepreneurial, service
or research co-op work terms. Permission of the
engineering science co-op office is required.
An optional non-technical
work term (ENSC 194)
is also available through the engineering science
co-operative education office and is often
completed after the first two study terms. ENSC
194 does not count toward the mandatory three
course requirement.

Engineering Honours Program
The following changes reflect the replacement ofENSC courses bytheir renumbered MSE equivalents.
The PHYS 344-3 course is removed from the calendar text to reflect a previous curriculum change that
fell through the cracks.
Current
Minimum Grade Requirement
A C- grade or better in prerequisite courses is
required to register in engineering science courses.
Co-operative Education Work
Experience
Every engineering science student completes a
three term co-operative education program of
practical experience in an appropriate industrial or
research setting leading to a project under the
technical direction of a practising engineer or
scientist. The goal is a complementary combination
of work in an industrial or research setting and
study in one of the engineering options. The
cases the work site is off campus.
At least two of the three mandatory work terms
must be completed in industry (ENSC 195,295,
395). Smdents may participate in additional work
terms but are encouraged to seek diversity in their
experience. The three mandatory work terms may
include one special co-op term (ENSC 196,296,
396). Special co-op may include, but is not
restricted to, self-directed, entrepreneurial, service
or research co-op work terms. Permission of the
engineering science co-op office is required.
An optional non-technical work term (ENSC 194)
is also available through the engineering science
co-operative education office and is often
completed after the first two study terms. ENSC
194 does not count toward the mandatory three
course requirement.

school faculty member joindy supervise the

Current
The engineering science co-operative education
programwill also seek opportunities for smdents
wishing to complete their thesis requirements in an
industrial setting. The honours thesis work can be
done on or off campus, either integrated with an
optional (or mandatory) work term, or as
independent work with appropriate supervision.
